Chapter 574: Chapter 325: Lord Mother-In-Law number two, can you really agree to anything? (4.6k)_2

Feya whispered, "Maybe it wasn’t set up specifically for me, I just happened to be there, and that’s my ’luck’."

"Huh?" Nanali didn’t understand what Feya was talking about.

Feya raised her other hand and chanted in an abstruse language:

[﷼][Fire]

A slight burning sensation emerged from her hand.

But Feya saw no flame.

Was her vision being blocked?

Many elves also noticed this.

"The lights won’t work!"

"Where are the servants, the lighting spells? Who knows how to use them?"

"I used a light spell, and there’s still no light!"

"Everyone, come this way, let’s go back downstairs the way we came!"

Under the leadership of someone unknown, all the elves ran back the way they had come, and soon there were few people left inside the hall.

Feya and Nanali could only follow them.

Nanali pinched the token she had always kept in the palm of her hand.

She herself was a Tier Four, taking the "Emerald—Wanderer’s Route" provided by the Mother Tree, now a Tier Four Nature Singer.

Such strength was more than enough to protect someone outside.

But in the Emerald City, where experts were everywhere, it wasn’t sufficient.

If an overpowering expert appeared, she would have no choice but to crush the token and summon Her Majesty Kureya.

The two made their way to the stairs and headed downwards, then they heard a male voice below, different from the voice of a girl.

"The way down from the second floor is blocked!"

"Are you Lenna, the third daughter of Duke Holman? Have you encountered the same situation as us?"

"Damn it, who dares to plot against us?!"

"Let’s all calm down. I’m William Calan Vyriam, the second son of Duke Vyriam. I believe this incident is premeditated, and it’s very likely the work of our elders," a forceful voice came from the darkness.

"Our elders did this? Don’t joke around; why would they do such a thing?"

"Yeah! Stop talking nonsense!"

Clack, clack, clack—

Suddenly, the lights in the corridor all turned on, and about a hundred people squeezed in the corridor cheered at once.

"Is it over?"

"But the way downstairs is still blocked!"

"What’s going on?"

"I used the jade token my father gave me, but it seems the transmission of messages has been blocked!"

Feya looked down the stairwell, taking advantage of the light.

The staircase downstairs was blocked by an unknown thickness of wall.

"Nanali, let’s go upstairs."

Feya took the maid’s hand and ran upstairs.

Dannis leaned on the railing, looking dazed, lost in thoughts. Seeing Feya running upstairs, something stirred within her, and she followed closely behind.

If the way downstairs was blocked,

What about the top floor? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Soon, many people realized this, and they followed Feya upstairs in a rush. The crowd squeezed together; if not for the wide stairway in the great theater, there might have been a stampede.

Seconds later, Feya stood in front of the iron door of the topmost terrace and pushed it open with her hand.

Squeak—

"Out of the way!"

An elf girl slipped past Feya, the first to run out through the door. If she could make it to the top of the theater, she could jump down directly from the terrace.

But after she went out, as a rust-like smell filled her nostrils and a ghostly green light illuminated the cave-like structure before her eyes, the girl became bewildered.

Where was this?

Feya followed behind her, crouching down to scrape some dust off the ground with her finger.

Hard ground.

Walls reinforced by spells?

Was this a space deliberately designed and built?

In the underground level of the Ensi Theater.

A group of Elf Nobles laughed as they watched their children descend into panic, teasing each other about their offspring’s indelicacy when faced with an emergency.

"Did your daughter wet her pants?"

"Scared into leaking? How inelegant."

"Ha, your daughter isn’t doing much better, hiding under the table shaking, while everyone else has already left."

"Speaking of which, who is that girl leading them upstairs? Quite brave."

"Don’t know her."

"Does anyone recognize her?"

"Duke Holman? Do you recognize her?"

Duke Holman furrowed his brows as he looked at Feya on the screen.

Who was she?

Wait, wasn’t she the maid by Her Majesty’s side?

Holman turned his head toward Duke Mel sitting beside him.

This time, both of Mel’s daughters participated in the social event; his elder daughter Sareen seemed to have taken a fancy to a girl from a poor family, so Mel was eager for his daughter to change her affections.

Of the dukes attending, only Mel had bothered to come; the other three couldn’t be bothered, and he and Mel didn’t get along, mutually displeased with each other, always on the verge of arguing.

However, despite their discord, Holman wouldn’t deliberately make Mel uncomfortable. That would be pushing a potential ally to the opposition.

"Mel, is she your new daughter? Who is she? She isn’t possibly Princess Lisiti’s..."

Mel glanced impassively at Holman and said, "What are you trying to do?"

Holman was taken aback, then laughed softly, "How could I possibly do anything? Since she might be the princess’s daughter, I surely won’t treat her negligently. But I am curious why she didn’t show any Mutation characteristics. Did Her Majesty Kureya hide them? Moreover, why is she participating in our event?"
